vaccines do not cause autism or really anything else and the chemicals present in them that typically scare you are in such minute amounts that they do precisely fuck-all in your body (we’re talking scales of one part per million)

you cannot do a cleanse or diet to “rid your body of toxins,” your kidneys and liver have that covered

GMO foods will not kill you; most genetic crop modification just makes our crops hardier and produce more food (and genetic modification doesn’t inject more chemicals into your food, it’s just minor altering of DNA that is made of the exact same stuff your DNA is made from)

if you feed your cat a vegan diet I will personally come to your home with the skull of a long-dead predator, point out the shape of its jaw and teeth as indicators of predatory feeding habits, and then beat you with it

This is my friend & coworker, Rochella. She is a 25 year old, Haitian/Puerto Rican woman who has an incredible heart and is honestly one of the sweetest people I know.

She recently made public that she is a rape survivor, that she was raped numerous times as a child by a family member. She found out that she is still within the statute of limitations to press charges. However, it’s very close. In Puerto Rico, statute of limitations is 5 years after turning 21 years old (basically a person’s 26th birthday.) Rochelle will be turning 26 in March.

Rochelle is trying to raise funds to support the repeated travel and expenses that she will have to incur as a result of the trial proceedings. She has been out on short term disability for therapy due to PTSD from the abuse. She is a mother and a wife, and the cost of the travel to Puerto Rico is money that they just don’t have. The first two weeks after pressing charges, she will have to stay in Puerto Rico or they will dismiss her case. After that, she will be traveling back and forth between NY and PR for anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, depending on how long it takes for trial. That’s a lot of money in regards to travel back and forth, as well as paying for a place to stay in PR, as she cannot stay with family (since that’s where the abuse happened and where the abuser lives.)

I don’t have the money to donate to her, as I am in my own financial hole, but I can do this for her. I can signal boost the hell out of her GoFundMe page, because she is too great of a person to not have a chance to put her abuser away. Help her break her silence. Help her get some sort of justice.

Trying to signal boost to people w/ large amounts of followers – please help signal boost

UPDATE!!! So Rochelle has seen all of the support that everyone has shown and she is speechless. And she has bought a one way ticket to get to PR! Lets keep the donations coming as well as the signal boosting!! You are all amazing!!

(and that was just this morning! – we are now over 4,000 notes and have $405 raised!
